Zen and Yogacara

with

Norman and Kathie Fischer

July 7th – 9th, 2017

Friday evening and all day Saturday & Sunday

During this weekend retreat we will focus on teachings from Vasubandhu’s famous “thirty verses,” and koans from the Book of Serenity. These evoke the “mind only” teachings of the yogacara school of Buddhism which, as foundational to Zen, are found throughout Zen stories as well as Dogen’s writing. Our goal is to bring these profound teachings to practical, everyday matters: How do we see our lives, how do we live them? The retreat will include sitting, presentation, and informal discussion.

This weekend is recommended for all levels of mediation experience. Friday evening’s talk is drop-in and open to the public.
